Cluster problem

Virginia Blazquez — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 04:46:56 GMT

Hi,

We have two Proliant working as a cluster. After a reboot of one of the servers, we are not able to start the cluster services.

We get the error 8007042B and the next error in the event viewer:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: ClusSvc
Event Category: Startup/Shutdown
Event ID: 1073
Description:
Cluster service was halted to prevent an inconsistency within the server cluster. The error code was 5890.

Could you help us?

Do you run SQL on your cluster?

If that's the case then please have a look at this:

I think the right clues are there.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer but we don't have SQL, the cluster is a Exchange 2003.

Regards.

You have to check this article too: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/890761/

In general is seems that your nodes are not 100% identical in terms of configuration, drivers, etc.

Microsoft released a nice set of cluster troubleshooting tools as part of the Windows 2003 resource kit tools.
Have a look here: http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/7e782055-450b-46dd-a0a4-164eebf2ae181033.mspx#w2k3tr_scl_tools_xliq

Virginia,

This problem may occur when all of the following conditions are true:

You set the Network security: LAN Manager authentication level policy to Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM & NTLM.

You set the Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients policy to Require NTLMv2 session security.

You set the Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers policy to Require NTLMv2 session security.
This problem may also occur if you apply a high-security domain policy template because the following policy settings may be enabled by the high-security domain policy template:
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers.

Virginia,

To resolve this, there is a hotfix is available from Microsoft.

Also Microsoft hsa said that the next Service pack contains this hot fix.

So you can contact the MS for this hotfix or wait for the next service pack release.
